Honestly mate, if you have a problem with the ticket, appeal against it. Otherwise, if you just don't pay it, then you will end up paying in the reagion of £500+ instead of the £30 initial charge. Ive seen it happen loads of times on the BBC program "Bailifs", once all court costs and bailif charges are added, the fees are extortionate.
Btw Rhys, no I dont have a relative who is a parking attendant, its just 99% of the tickets that are issued are totally legit, and my philosophy is if you do the crime, you pay the fine/do the time. And if people think the tickets are falsely given to them, they can appeal (and a mate of mine recently won an appeal on a ticket that was issued to him).
At the end of the day, the only bad experiences I have personally had with parking attendents is when I have quite rightly been at fault.
Id much rather have a parking attendent give me a £30 fine then have a plod turn up and give me a ticket and possibly even points!!!
